Setting UTC for Deployment Units

Overview

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the 24-hour time standard used as the basis for civil time. All time zones are defined by their offset from UTC (e.g., UTC+1:00, UTC-5:00). In ManagementStudio, you can assign a UTC offset to each Deployment Unit to ensure alignment with the correct local time zone.

Configuring UTC Fields for Deployment Units

Follow these steps to make the UTC fields available and visible for Deployment Units:

• Navigate to Administration → Deployment Units → Details Config.
• In the search box, enter UTC.
• Set both relevant fields to Visible.
• Select Save changes.
• Do not restart the client at this stage.

To display these fields on the Deployment Units grid:

• Go to Administration → Deployment Units → Grid Config.
• Search for UTC.
• Set both fields to Visible.
• Select Save changes.
• Now restart the client to apply the grid changes.

Setting the UTC Offset for a Deployment Unit

Once the fields are enabled and visible, set the UTC offset as follows:

• Open the Deployment Units module.
• In the grid, select the Deployment Unit to configure.
• Right-click the selected Deployment Unit and choose Update Fields.

• Under the Checkboxes section, locate Use UTC Offset and set it to checked.
• Right-click again and choose Update Fields.

• Under the Numbers section, set the required value in the UTC Offset field.
